This trailer looks fucking beast, such a dark and chaotic feel the story line.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

good luck balancing the game out with these gimmicky abilities across the board!

The Replicants sound super awesome--it's essentially free Mind Control for any unit you want. Definitely makes Protoss sound more alien-y imo.

But I can't help but think SC2 is turning into Transformers (Michael Bay or not)

But how many units are actually worth replicating for a unit that is 200/200 and can't copy massive units?

An SCV to build Orbital Commands/Planetarys

For that reason alone I would ALWAYS build one replicator every game vs Terran. I'm guessing Blizzard thought of this too and probably was the reason why they game the Nexus such strong abilities.

Finally! It's usually been the other way around with protoss. Looking forward to this.

Most of this stuff sounds cool, but a teleporting ultralisk is fucking ridiculous. Seriously, lets put more anti-mech mechanics in the game because TvX didn't have enough bio play. You got siege tanks? It's no problem, I teleport ultralisk on top.


You will be getting new mech units, don't focus on one thing you don't like.

Also if anyone remembers when they showed the units for WOL they ended up removing/changing everything so it doesn't even matter that much, Lets wait for a beta/release to really T__T people !

I don't mind the Ultralisk thing, as long as there's a cool 'burrow trail' when they're doing it.

These units look pretty stupid and also sound pretty stupid. Outside of that the new maps are blatantly imbalanced and some of the changes are just salt in the wounds - Reapers are almost completely pointless now (as if they weren't useless enough), removal of the Carrier is just a plain sign that "We didn't know how to fix them so here's a flying vs Air High Templar that doesn't need Energy".

The future looks bad.

I just realized the most important balance change HotS will have on Starcraft 2

Replicators are going to absolutely ruin team monobattles.


lolol I would pay to see Replicators vs. Replicators monobattle.

Ghosts so they can emp other ghosts


There are some that would be, I think replicating siege tanks with siege mode is worthwhile, casters would be as well (like infestors). If you can replicate air units, it might be really awesome for tech switches: you've been on robo for a while, and you know you're going to switch to air units, so you make a bunch of replicators while your stargate tech is building then you turn them into void rays instantly.

If you are high on gas and don't want to make archons or sentries you can make them into immortals and save a little bit of minerals, and they build really fast.

Little worried about detect for Zerg vs. early Banshees.

Viper will require an additional structure while the Overseer only required a Lair.

Hm...

edit: Unless the Viper structure is a tier 1 structure...?

If Blizzard thought blue flame needed to be nerfed, why would they even consider burrow move banelings? Mineral lines will cease to exist when Zerg is in a game.

Burrow movable banelings = incoming Zerg OP nerf nao. I'm calling it now. Shame, I was looking forward to using this as Zerg.

Siege tanks... replicate 5 siege tanks, get 5 sentries, good luck rushing into protoss army with siege + colossus + force fields.
